Chapter 25, Problem 2ASA

A 0.200 M solution of diethylamine, a substance used in insecticides and fungicides, is only 3.9% ionized at 25°C. Calculate the pKb of diethylamine and the pKa of its conjugate acid, the diethylammonium ion. Round to two decimal places.   pKb = ? pKa = ?

The chemical 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-phthalazinedione, better known as luminol, is used by forensic scientists in analyzing crime scenes for the presence of washed-away blood. Luminol is so sensitive that it can detect blood that has been diluted 10,000 times. A basic solution of luminol is often sprayed onto surfaces that are suspected of containing minute amounts of blood. Luminol has a molecular weight of 177 g/mol The technician must dilute the luminol solution to a concentration of 5.00×10−2 M . The diluted solution is then placed in a spray bottle for application on the desired surfaces. How many moles of luminol are present in 2.00 L of the diluted spray?

I need help with this problem. Compare the pH of propionic acid and nitric acid when they are dissolved in water at a concentration of 20 mM using the "Arrhenius Concept". Include:a balanced equation describing the acid-base reactions involvedThe calculation of the pKa for bothThe calculation of the two pH's (of propionic acid and nitric acid when they are dissolved in water at a concentration of 20 mM)and A calculation of the percent of dissociation of both propionic acid and nitric acid.The gibbs free energy ΔG are listed as the following:Nitric acid: -152 kJ/molPropionic Acid : -291 kJ/molPropionate: -361 kJ/mol
